Nordost Blue Heaven S/PDIF Digital Cable (1 m)

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

DESCRIPTION
The safe transfer of digital data streams depends on achieving accurate impedance within the transmission chain. The S/PDIF transmission standard dictates a 75 Ohm co-axial lead, but it is surprising how few cables meet that specification.

The Blue Heaven Digital Interconnect is a true 75 Ohm conductor. Employing a Micro Mono-Filament, co-axial construction. This advanced topology allows us to achieve superior electrical performance and geometrical accuracy, irrespective of cable length. The Blue Heaven Digital Interconnect ensures high-speed, low-loss characteristics and, due to its BNC termination, the 75 Ohm standard is maintained, even across the connectors. Each BNC connector is supplied with a gold-plated RCA adaptor, keeping the cable consistent in performance across any combination of co-axial inputs or outputs. To accommodate even more applications, this cable is also available in a BNC to 3.5mm mono mini configuration.

Nordost SuperFlatline speaker cable (2,5 m)

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Description
The SuperFlatline Speaker Cable is a true Nordost classic. This highly sought after product offers detail, clarity, and purity throughout the whole frequency spectrum, from subsonic lows to ultrasonic highs. The SuperFlatline Speaker Cable consists of sixteen 23 AWG, solid core, flat, rectangular, copper conductors. These conductors undergo an innovative precision FEP extrusion process, which lowers the capacitance and increases the bandwidth of the cable dramatically, enhancing accuracy and speed of signal transfer. This high quality, versatile cable can be used in any system. When used in a shotgun configuration, the SuperFlatline is capable of carrying high currents (up to 12.5 amps at 300 volts), while its 16 conductors can easily facilitate bi-wiring or bi-amping. In addition to the impressive quality of performance this cable can achieve, the flat geometry of SuperFlatline makes it possible to run lengths under carpets for easy and discreet installation.
